Raiders confident about quarterback situation

Las Vegas Raiders general manager Mike Mayock said, "We feel really good about the quarterback position."

What It Means:

The Raiders possess two first-round picks in next week's draft, but Mayock seemed satisfied with the team's situation under center while on a conference call with reporters. Derek Carr is expected to retain his starting job for the time being, but Marcus Mariota could take over if the offense underwhelms. The Raiders were 11th in total offense (363.7 yards per game) and 9th in passing offense (245.4) last season. Carr was held under 300 yards in every game until an inconsequential season finale and he only threw for more than 2 touchdowns in one game. The former second-round pick turned 29 at the end of last month.

Carr averaged 15.8 FanDuel points (QB25) and 253.4 passing yards per game with 21 touchdowns and 8 interceptions last season. His average depth of target of 6.6 yards was fourth-lowest among 42 quarterbacks with at least 100 attempts. Mariota's 7.2-yard average ranked 34th.
